Brian Turner:
Playlist
from March 21, 2017

Order and disorder in a freeform haze of terribly-played guitars, shorted-out electronics, found audio detritus, strange sounds from strange lands all around. Psych-punk-junk, collage, even pop. Lots of in-studio live performances to boot.

I had to google "Bienhoa," heh. Alan was the first picture.

Cecile:
he looked kind of like Ralph Macchio or someone from Menudo.

Cecile:
Ok, you lovely German speakers. How do you remember what "the" goes with what word? Is it completely random?

Rev. Turnip Druid:
Funny, Cecile: I just downloaded Duolingo & was going to start on the German. ...After all these years, it's about time I figured out what Grobschnitt were laughing about between songs.

Fuzzy:
Yes, Cecile -- I thought it was the Karate Kid at first too. I also didn't get Debbie Reynolds, Alan Wakeman or Phife Dog. Just noticed Mr. Berry in the pyramid -- nice. Where's Mary Tyler Moore?

Cecile:
Rev, you will laugh at me, but I want to translate Conchita Wurst's between-song patter. I know my fellow nuts, I mean admirers do some translating, but I'd just like to get some of the nuances.

Oscar:
Delurking because I always forget how great that first Wild Man record is. It's interesting to contrast his relationships with Zappa and Barnes & Barnes-- IIRC, Bill Mumy was his legal guardian for the final few years.

This is gorgeous. Dropping in briefly before I run out the door. Took the day off because it's my Bday! I feel blessed that I was able to give 4x this past telethon to keep you all going! :)

Lopez:
Alright everything on this set is spectacular. Where's that little star for Gaseneta?

Märy Wing:
I guess the playlist doesn't recognize a lone question mark as a title; perhaps Brian can rename it as "untitled" or "mystery track" so the star will appear.

Threemoons:
Linda, thanks! About to head out to a late dinch. LOVE that Totensonnen! I gotta say, I have bought about $100 worth of indie music last week just from stuff I discovered during the telethon! Oh, and BOWIE. YEAH.

@Mary Wing, is tomorrow your first day in your new (old) timeslot at 12 noon on Give the Drummer Radio?

Cecile:
I know, it's not like Spanish. That's pretty easy to figure out. Very few exceptions to the rule, and they either make sonic or linguistic sense. Just about every word that has "ma" at the end is masculine because I guess they're derived from Greek. So I would remember "your ma's a man" to remember to use the masculine article.

Cecile:
No, that is me. I am learning German. And all I can really say is yes, no, and "I am not a(n)(insert various animal name)" That's what 3% Duolingo fluency in German gets you.
